BREWMASTERLO2, see MC-120044.

Comment by BrewmasterLo (I'm nicer now) [ 10/Aug/20 ]

This is technically not fixed as when you summon primed tnt with commands when a mob hurts you it says the same thing

Comment by Galaxy_2Alex [ 25/Oct/14 ]

Unable to reproduce in 1.8.1 Pre3, shows "Galaxy_2Alex was blown up by Galaxy_2Alex" (as expected since I lit the TNT).

I'm totally going to do this.

Confirmed for 14w21b.

Still an issue in 1.7.5 and 14w08a

Comment by Talven81 [ 26/Nov/13 ]

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.3.4 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

I don't know if this counts as a separate issue or not:

I think it may be a separate issue because it has less to do with death messages and more to do with how the game handles bows and arrows, but this issue (MC-7736) might also be less about the death message and more about how deaths are handled.

That's right.
Not a duplicate

I believe this to not be a duplicate of MC-9115 but instead a separate issue entirely. In this video my language is set to default English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ8cpQ4R7xA this is clearly a different issue than MC-9115 and it still occurs in 1.6.2

This ticket has been marked as a duplicate of MC-9115, in favor of the better description/information provided.
